[Docket No. RP99-83-001]
Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in
FERC Gas Tariff
December 10, 1998.
Take notice that on December 1, 1998, Eastern Shore Natural Gas
Company (Eastern Shore) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas
Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1, the following revised tariff
sheets, with a proposed effective date of November 2, 1998:
Substitute Original Sheet No. 155A
Substitute Original Sheet No. 155B
Substitute Original Sheet No. 155C
Substitute Third Revised Sheet No. 160A
Eastern Shore states that on October 9, 1998, it submitted a filing
to comply with the Commission's Order No. 587-H issued July 15, 1998 in
Docket No. RM96-1-008 (the Order). The Order required pipelines to
adopt Version 1.3 of the Gas Industry Standards Board (GISB) standards
dealing with intra-day nominations and nomination and scheduling
procedures. In addition, the
[[Page 69271]]
Order established November 2, 1998 as the date for implementation of
the regulations regarding intra-day nominations.
Eastern Shore further states that in the November 6 Order, the
Commission found that, although it had generally complied with Order
No. 587-H, Eastern Shore (i) incorrectly changed the GISB version
number from 1.2 to 1.3 for several GISB Standards previously
incorporated into Eastern Shore's tariff, (ii) failed to incorporate
verbatim or by reference GISB Standards 1.3.2 (v), 1.3.2 (vi), and
1.2.8 through 1.2.12, (iii) failed to include bumping notice procedures
consistent with those in its OFO provisions, and (iv) did not address
the issue of waiver of daily ``non-critical'' penalties.
Eastern Shore states it was directed in the November 6 Order to
file revised tariff sheets to rectify the exceptions listed above. The
revised tariff sheets referenced above are being filed to comply with
items (i), (ii) and (iii) above. With respect to item (i) above, no
action is necessary as the Commission rejected such proposed tariff
sheets as moot. With respect to item (ii) Eastern Shore has added
appropriate language to Sheet No. 160A to incorporate by reference GISB
Standards 1.3.2 (v), 1.3.2 (vi) and 1.2.8 through 1.2.12. With respect
to item (iii) Eastern Shore has revised Sheet Nos. 155A and 155B,
respectively, to include bumping notice procedures consistent with
those in its OFO provisions. In regard to item (iv) above, waiver of
``non-critical'' penalties, Eastern Shore respectfully requests an
additional fifteen days within which to complete a review of its tariff
and respond to this item.
Eastern Shore states that copies of its filing has been mailed to
all firm customers, interruptible customers, and affected state
commissions.
Any person desiring to protest this filing should file a protest
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E.,
Washington, D.C. 20426, in accordance with Section 385.211 of the
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such protests must be filed as
provided in Section 154.210 of the Commission's Regulations. Protests
will be considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate
action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to
the proceedings. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission
and are available for public inspection in the Public Reference Room.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
